🚀 We are delighted to announce the launch of the MWE 2025 Song Challenge. 🚀 The challenge is to write a song about maths, upload it and send the MWE team a link. Your song can be of any genre, and anyone is welcome to enter. More details will be available in September. Start getting creative!

In #MathsToday we were graphing rational functions. I really enjoy teaching this topic, because the students get the big whiteboards out and draw the graphs in groups of 2 or 3. Lots of nice opportunities for discussions (including "I thought a graph couldn't cross an asymptote...") #ALevelMaths

A sketch of the graph y = (2x + 6)/(x - 1)(x + 4) broken down into steps such as finding the x and y intercepts, and finding the vertical and horizontal asymptotes. The graph crosses the horizontal asymptote y = 0, which prompted some debate.

In #mathstoday we are embracing maths Week England! Lots of puzzles, jokes and activities taking place during the week. We started off with some puzzles (the date puzzle was a particular favourite) and watching a video of staff talking about when they use maths in their every day lives.
